Haul the Machine (continued)
Selecting a Trailer
Loading a machine onto a trailer or truck increases the possibility of tip-over and
could cause serious injury or death.
• Use only full-width ramps.
• Ensure that the length of ramp is at least 4 times as long as the height of the trailer
or truck bed to the ground. This ensures that ramp angle does not exceed 15
degrees on flat ground.
Loading the Machine
Loading a machine onto a trailer or truck increases the possibility of tip-over and
could cause serious injury or death.
• Use extreme caution when operating a machine on a ramp.
• Load and unload the machine with the heavy end up the ramp.
• Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration while driving the machine on a ramp as
this could cause a loss of control or a tip-over situation.
1. If using a trailer, connect it to the towing vehicle and connect the safety chains.
2. If applicable, connect the trailer brakes.
